I rarely see this as a full name but I'm honestly not against it, I think it could be super pretty as a given name. If you prefer it as a nickname, I think it could be cute and short for Beatrice, Elizabeth, or Bridget. 💜.

Excuse me, Anonymously User who says that Bea isn’t a name? That is just plain out dumb. My name is Bea and it is a name so don’t be such a smart Alec. It is a name.

To the person above me, saying that a letter can't be a name is ridiculous. What about Dee? Or Jay? Or Elle? Shall I continue, there are a few more. I think Bea is perfectly acceptable.
I'm usually not a fan of short, one syllable names, but Bea is an exception. I don't know why I like it, but it's sweet, and I'd encourage parents to use this as a first name.

I love this name, pronounced as it says. I usually don't like names so short but this is one that always stuck out in my mind. Ever like a name for absolutely no reason? That's what this is to me.

I think it's a bit too minimalist. It's better to name a girl Beatrice and call her Bea. I actually prefer the pronunciation ''BEE-ah''. Then it doesn't sound quite so plain.

I love this name. It is much prettier than Beatrice or Beatrix, though I do like Bellatrix. It is so cute! I wouldn't name my daughter this though because it can't have any nicknames that are shorter and derived from the name itself.
